Hi Angus
I`m not running the CDI at the moment . I`m running the cool power low smoke, I`m not sure what the oil content is exactly I think 18%
The new fuel is a little less oil (around 15%) BUt it`s a different viscosity oil. Humidity and weather conditions cause most of the smoke trail we see in the sky. The New blend is an attempt to limit this. But, If the engine is properly tuned (most guys run the pump too rich and the Needle too lean) there really is not much smoke anyway.
The 185 runs so clean( with Very little smoke) that the airplane after a gallon run through it ,is almost completely clean!
This translates into Fuel economy. You can easily fly 15 minutes and land with fuel to spare ,that`s Three FAI Patterns
now we can run 8 oz tanks if we want to, but no one wants that! it`s why we still fly glow
I wonder if they will pass a rule now at the Nat`s practice sights
